Ohmygoodness! *dies*

Massive, massive spoilers for the series finale of Angel are contained in this post. Read no further if you do not wish to know what happens. Well, more or less. I won't be recounting anything in great detail, just my impressions, but bear in mind my impressions will very likely contain massive spoilers.

Glorious food!

Man, am I hungry!

*eats in blissfully blissful state of bliss*

I made myself pasta with shrimp and tomato sauce. I was extremely hungry. I was going to eat earlier, but got delayed by the removal of furniture from my home.

Tomorrow I shall be moving back into my bedroom! Huzzah!

Prospero's Daughter, in her quest to fill her spare bedroom with a paying guest/roommate, did me the huge favour of taking the bed lux80 left behind, which belongs tolux80's former roommate (who has a blog, I just don't remember the URL right now, because I'm bad that way. Oops.). So now my bedroom is once again free! And I can stop sleeping in my living room!

I also cleaned up before she came with her employer to pick up the bed (her employer was helping her out with his truck to move the bed), since the apartment needed cleaning, and having people come by was as good an excuse as any to clean.

I will be cleaning more tomorrow, but I got a serious metric assload of cleaning done today, and now I am very tired and my feet and legs hurt, but I am very pleased with myself.

The cats are sulking because I upset their routine, locked them up in a room while the furniture was being moved, and then filled the apartment with the smell of cleaning products. Therefore they hate me right now. They forgave me briefly while I cleaned the shrimp, then went back to hating me when I didn't share my shrimp with them.

Am v. pleased with the shrimp, btw. They were 10 for $2.99 at the store today, which is a total steal. Bear in mind this is Canadian funds we're talking about. ;)

Will be washing floors (again) tomorrow. Washed some of them today, but one needs rewashing, and swiffered some others, and swept the living room, but that was cursory at best (can we say Great Big Hairballs of Doom? The fluffy kind that look like dust bunnies on crack, luckily, not the kind horked up by the kitties —blechh!), so I'll need to sweep again and then wash.

Must also put order in the bookcases. I keep saying that, and keep putting it off. It's not a monumental task, but knowing me it means taking out all the books and putting them back in in an order which I like better than the sort of haphazard manner in which they've been sorted in there right now.

So, yes. It's a Sisyphian job, but someone's gotta do it.

In related news...

Prospero's Daughter's employer looks like Callum Keith Rennie with red hair.

Oh my God...

Gacked from firewillow, who got it from bansidhe.

"Congress brought twin bills, [....] forward this year, [...] "to provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons [age 18--26] in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."

:::Edit:::

Yet another viewpoint, still gacked from firewillow.

Will be watching her LJ and other news sources for new links as they appear.

And yes, I know many countries have mandatory military service. That doesn't make it a good thing, IMHO. That's why some countries, like France, got rid of theirs several years ago.

To quote Calvin & Hobbes: "Dad, how does soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems?"
